Seems more like PC policing then anything else. How about we finish SL and not worry about stuff like this Comment by Scilic on T16:29:11-05:00 I honestly find little point in trying to make the racist xenophobic warmonger PC. Genocide and all manner of torturous horrors are fine but the word isn’t? Comment by MortisDarkskull on T16:28:37-05:00 This is really pathetic on Blizzard’s end. It's not an inaccurate insult, Sylvanas is a massive $%^&*, but I don't think the game is changed much by removing the line. I actually remember being really surprised when I heard Garrosh curse back in Cataclysm. It's some really bad optics when it's coming from Steve Danuser who is a bit hooked on Sylvanas. So glad I completed that quest before this embarrassing move by blizz lmao. Now Blizzard, a company run almost entirely by men, is trying to tell me they need to protect me from a word I use casually every day between myself and my female friend group because I'm supposedly this pathetic little weakling that can't handle it. Guess they couldn't stand Sylvanas still being insulted in-game all these years later lol Comment by kaleestraza on T16:27:24-05:00Īs a woman, I loved that line because I've always hated Sylvanas and it felt good to finally hear someone- especially a Horde member- say it. Oh boy i'm excited to read responses! I'm sad to see this personally, but it isn't a big deal Comment by Lelena on T16:27:16-05:00 Interestingly, this isn't the only such change - another twitter user pointed out that Godfrey's similar insult in Shadowfang Keep has also been edited, and it would stand to reason that further softening of similar in-game dialogue may be found as well.Įdit: Lead Narrative Designer Steve Danuser has explained the situation further on twitter: The original dialogue from the Cataclysm quest The Warchief Cometh can be heard below. The line was very controversial at the time, and fans are no less split on its removal, with some agreeing that it was over the top and others considering it an attempt to change history. Lead Narrative Designer Steve Danuser responded on twitter, affirming that the change was intentional. Their conversation takes a sharp turn with Garrosh's response to a snarky comment from Sylvanas, and although it's been nearly 10 years since Cataclysm released, that dialogue has now been changed.Īs seen above, Garrosh no longer calls Sylvanas a "clever bitch". Shadowlands may be about new content, but changes to some older quests have appeared on the Shadowlands beta as well, including an interesting change to the dialogue between Garrosh and Sylvanas' encounter in Silverpine Forest during the quest The Warchief Cometh.
